I painted some more shoes for myself!! I am starting to really like doing this.. I got inspiration for the colours from a pair of Bella Costa shoes that I liked.. I mixed the colours myself using primary colours.

There are so many ideas out there to turn baggy old t-shirts into different things, the fabric being so versatile. Other posts have ideas for accessories etc but here is a summary of refashioned t-shirts into tops, dresses or skirts. My problem is that I can never get my hands on enough t-shirts. I don't have any suitable types lying around like everyone else seems to have and the op shops don't seem to sell many either, when they do they seem over priced for something I'm going to cut up or have terrible slogans splashed across them. I always have my eye out for cheap t-shirts and have tried to spread the word around that I will take peoples t-shirts. I have had a few donations so am keen to try one or a few of these ideas..

You know those blurred light dots in an image? That's the Bokeh. "The way the lens renders out of focus points of light". It is easy to adjust and play around with these parts of the image in a creative way. You can change the shape of the bokeh by creating a make shift lens cap with a custom shape cut out from it. This post goes into detail about how to and pics of others. Here are some cool ideas I've seen..
